I’ll have to try these. I’m at the point my spondylosthesis has hampered my gate while running. So I pretty much don’t run anymore. At 65yo, I found my old medical records which indicated the condition at 2yo. I lead a pretty active life as a competitive runner when I in my 20s. I still hike and bike. But I want to maintain my mobility while I get older.
Yes, it can be congenital - that the vertebrae didn't fully form during development. Fortunately, it seems not to have hampered you through most of your life. Overstriding while running would be the biggest factor that would be likely to contribute. Too long of strides with inadequate hip flexor flexibility and abdominal stabilization tend to cause an anterior pelvic tilt. Longer strides also tend to have a larger vertical displacement, so the ground reaction force is greater vs. taking shorter, quicker, low-to-the-ground strides. Great job on staying active!
